Police Officer of the Year Honorees

Since 1966, the IACP has partnered with PARADE magazine, Alcatel-Lucent, and most recently, Target to honor outstanding achievement in law enforcement. While the name of the award has changed from the Policeman of the Year to the Police Officer of the Year, the tradition of honor continues. To learn more about each officer, click on his/her name.
